  John at Colonial Marble is great. We had a piece of black marble installed to match our other historic hearth. It was a fairly expensive project due to the general cost of marble, but it turned out beautifully. The warehouse is large and he was kind enough to pull out multiple pieces of black marble so we could decide. He is very kind and professional and resolved issues I had with ARC tile (working in same building). I would definitely use John again but steer clear of Rick at ARC Tile.

  They don't stand behind appointments and think nothing of people's time. My work was good quality when finally complete.

  HE RUINED MY MARBLE. HE DOES NOT STAND BEHIND HIS WORK ... Three years ago, Colonial installed a 6-foot-long X 9-inch-high white marble counter in my kitchen. It is the first thing you see when you enter our open living space. After he installed it, there was a dark uneven-edged, 2-inch-high stain along the entire length of the mitered edge, as if water had seeped into the marble. He came to look at it and said "that happens sometimes" because the glue seeps into the marble. Huh? That happens sometimes? To try to fix it, he applied a product called "enhancer," and - like the name says - it enhanced the 6-foot-long stain!! I mean, the stain got darker! I called him numerous times to resolve the issue, but he did not return my calls. ... I called three other marble companies to ask if they could fix it. They said that it could not be fixed. They said he used the wrong glue - that there are new glues that do not seep. ... I've covered most of the length of the counter with attractive bottles because this stain is an eyesore. To replace the counter could cost $3,000. I wish I had taken him to court just so I could have replaced the marbe. It is probably too late now. There are a lot of marble installers out there. Ask for recommendations and references.
